Stay Updated On What's New In The Puzzle World

Back in April, I wrote about the analogue movement and why so many of us seem to be craving hobbies that get us away from our screens. Apparently, I took my own advice a little more seriously than I expected. Not surprisingly, some of that newfound time went straight into puzzles. In the past 60 days, I've completed 77 puzzles!!! Yes. That's more puzzles than there were days... CONTINUE READING

I look at puzzles every single day for work, which you would think would make me less likely to buy them. And you think as someone who does over 300 puzzles a year, I'd get sick of them. Well I'm not... I'm a bit obsessed and still get VERY excited over new puzzles. So I thought it would be fun to take you puzzle shopping with me. I'm heading to the Puzzle Warehouse New Puzzles page and pretending I can add just 10 puzzles to my cart. That's it. Ten... CONTINUE READING

A while back, I wrote a blog called 300 Piece Hot Take all about my love for 300-piece puzzles. Recently, someone left a comment saying they wished I would do another blog featuring more of them. Well... you don't have to ask me twice! I am someone who genuinely LOVES a 300-piece puzzle. For some puzzlers, 300 pieces are simply their preferred piece count. For others, the larger pieces are easier to see, grip, and manipulate. They can be a great option for mature puzzlers, families, newer puzzlers, or anyone who just wants something a little more manageable.... CONTINUE READING

I swear I started seeing Halloween content right after the Fourth of July this year. And for me? That is way too early! When it’s still light outside late into the evening and people around the country are experiencing 100+ degree temperatures, it can be a little hard to get excited about pumpkins, falling leaves, and cozy sweaters. Some are just hoping for a little rain and cooler weather!  

But now that we’re getting toward the end of August, I have to admit... fall is starting to creep into my mind..... CONTINUE READING

For decades, 1,000-piece puzzles have been considered the gold standard of puzzling. They're the size most people picture when they think of jigsaw puzzles, and for many puzzlers, they're still the perfect challenge. Some enjoy spending long days (or even weeks) working on the same image, watching it slowly come together on the kitchen table.

But lately, something interesting has been happening. More and more puzzlers are reaching for 500-piece puzzles instead.... CONTINUE READING

If you’re new to my puzzling adventures over on YouTube, I started using a gumball machine in 2026 as a fun way to work through my ever-growing puzzle to-do pile. As I reach different milestones, I earn a pull from different puzzle categories. One of those categories includes my larger puzzles, ranging from 1,500 to 8,000 pieces, so the selection is still completely random. This time, the gumball machine selected Ravensburger’s 7,000-piece Six Portals, illustrated by fantasy artist Rose Cat Kahn. To make the project a little more interesting, I challenged myself to complete it in 10 days... CONTINUE READING

If you have been to Puzzle Palooza before, you probably noticed something different this year. Yes, there were exciting competitions. Puzzle Palooza 2026 felt like a true celebration of the puzzle community. Over two days, puzzlers traveled from across the country to compete, shop, meet friends they had previously only known online, discover new brands, and spend an entire weekend surrounded by people who love puzzles just as much as they do...

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it feels like the perfect time to shine a spotlight on something many puzzlers may not realize: there are still a number of jigsaw puzzle companies manufacturing right here in the United States.

While there are incredible puzzle brands from around the world, including many beloved European companies, there is something special about opening a box that was designed, printed, and produced here at home. From family-owned businesses to companies with decades of puzzle-making history, these brands continue a tradition that has been part of American homes for generations... CONTINUE READING

Summer puzzling looks a little different for me than the rest of the year. Living in Washington, I know the sunshine doesn't stick around forever, so when the warm weather finally arrives, I'm usually trying to soak up as much Vitamin D as possible. Between camping trips, weekend adventures, travel plans, and simply enjoying being outdoors, I tend to reach for puzzles that are a little lighter, brighter, and easier to fit into a busy summer schedule. While I still love a challenging puzzle, summer is when you'll often find me working on colorful 300 to 500 piece puzzle, or a cheerful 1000-piece puzzle. They're the kinds of puzzles I can finish over a weekend, take on a trip, or enjoy with family after a day spent outside.

To help inspire your next summer puzzle, I gathered some favorites from both myself and our Puzzle Warehouse ambassadors, along with a few puzzles that have recently caught my eye. Whether you're puzzling from a campsite, a cabin, a sunny patio, or the comfort of your air-conditioned living room, these are the puzzles we're excited about this season... CONTINUE READING
